Yes, this would be a pretty straightforward addition to the mw.Title object or something that accepts one as a filename similarly.

Like the 'fileExists' this might be marked as an 'expensive' operation since doing a lot of them might require a lot of DB lookups.
Note that I've got an old 'fileinfo' extension which used a parser function to fetch some file information which could be updated to provide a Lua interface, but it seems to have gone missing from gerrit (may never have made it over). So.... exercise left for the reader.

I was working lately on a template on commons related to automatic overlay KML creation (see [1] for KML use on Commons). Two of the
items
I need but do not know how to access are full file dimensions in
pixels
and the url to the raw image (like [2]). I think with Lua, I can use HTML Parser [3] to parse the file page, but there must be a simpler
way
to access those.

You can link to special:filepath/filename to get path, but full
dimensions
are unavailablr.
Wouldn't it be a solution to add the full dimensions (+ MIME type etc) to the API (&prop=imageinfo&iiprop=extmetadata), would it?

I believe Jarek is looking to get the info from wikitext, so that wouldnt help him. Additionally if you have access to the api, you can use iiprop=dimensions already.
This is a somewhat commonly requested thing (e.g. some folks on wikipedia want to make a gallery lua module that takes aspect ratio into account), so adding an interface to lua to retrieve this info would make sense imo.
